I have written a book called Rhythm Reading (with my drummer buddy Justin Scott) a book full of rhythms.

The best way to get going is to learn to read and understand the notation and then practice tapping out the various rhythms. Once I get on top of the Interval Ear Training Course I plan on hitting a rhythmic dictation course too - specifically to help people work out strumming patterns! This used to be best done by writing the rhythms when you transcribe, but it can be pretty tricky and hard to just start doing it so I hope to break it down in the course. The other part of ear training that is very useful is rhythmic dictation. Only when both of these are rock solid should a student approach Harmonic Intervals and chord structures. Easy to remember: Melodic Intervals make melody, Harmonic Intervals make harmony! I recommend that people start with Ascending Melodic Intervals, then once that is mastered move on to Descending Melodic Intervals. In harmonic intervals the notes are played at the same time and in melodic the notes are played one after the other. There are two types of interval listening, harmonic and melodic. Learning the names of the intervals is also great for communicating ideas with other musicians and understanding harmonic analysis. Doing a lot of transcribing will teach you the intervals sonically and to some extent on the neck, but once you know the names of the intervals too it makes it easier because you can 'put a tag on it' and know for sure what it is. I grew up transcribing, it was the way I learned to play songs, but when I started doing Interval Ear Training it took it to a whole new level. It really can be quite incredible and I have had many students say that after a few months of consistent work on Ear Training that they can hear music better, that they can separate the instruments easier when they listen to music (which enhanses the listening experience!) and hear new depths in recordings they thought they knew well. Developing your ear will make you a better musician in many ways. Learning to recognise sounds will help you in many ways, most importantly it will help you Transcribe and accelerate your ability to work out songs on your own. Overall, Justin is an EXCELLENT guitar instructor and is easy to work with.Ear Training (or Aural Training) is a very important part of musical development. Justin also gave me some suggestions on how much to practice, a good practice routine, and we covered a number of other topics as well. Justin took me through some basics of pentatonic major and minor fingerings, moving between them and then some variations of chords to use in A blues including D7 and E7 as well as D9 and E9.

You want someone who's competent, can model difficult concepts and then break them into fundamental exercises, has songs to reinforce what you've learned? This is him.

Justin helped me with jazz theory concepts and outlined a good practice plan. Great teacher, very knowledgeable and damn good Justin finds it very rewarding to watch students grow and over time be able to perform music, whether it be their own compositions or popular pieces. Justin uses traditional and contemporary methods, instilling an appreciation of the fun and joy that music can bring. He has been teaching students of all ages and skill levels for over 20 years.
